I haven't dealt much with the Turion specifically, but the Pentium M is easily the best processor Intel has ever made. I write this post on a Pentium M 1.6 Ghz laptop and I regularly run Unreal Tournament at 1680 x 1050 pixels with maxed settings with no gimpping. Mind you, it also has a 128 MB nVidia GeForce Go FX 5650 but that little processor performs. My brother runs FBI level security shreds, multiple anti-malware programs, SETI@home, and video compressors in the background on his Pentium M 1.73 Ghz. It may not have the numbers, but it is amazing, the power management is exceptional, my laptop gets four hour battery life, get this, playing Freelancer, absolutely astounding. So my opinion, Intel Pentium M for laptops, AMD for desktops.
